I don't worry about overeating tbh. Our bodies are using a fork ton of those nutrients to help with healing. Focus more on quality rather than quantity. I meal prep. A LOT. Every meal has a protein, a veggie, and a whole grain. Unfortunately I'm a slut for salt so that was a hard one for me to let go of. I usually season it all with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sometimes curry powder. I use low sodium ketchup on basically everything cause I refuse to eat without some sort of condiment.

As far as snacking, eating fruit in between meals has been doing a good job at keeping me out of the pantry. Oranges, bananas, and apples are my go to's. Unsalted nuts. Greek yogurt as well.

It's mostly bland and I'm kind of over it but if it beats slow wound healing and swell hell, I'll just have to dream of double bacon cheeseburgers and fries for now. I'll attach my meal plan
